another tuesday that means piano lessons. nothing super exciting. we did some work on yankee doodle and happy birthday. then we got sheets for twinkle twinkle. i read the title. twinkle twinkle little star. yeah i can totally read that. there's a bunch of cross overs and cross unders to do during the song. i can do that. i know all about how to play the piano now. i'm trying to talk mom into letting me take rock guitar lessons next when i'm 6. when i'm older i will play guitar in a rock band. mom says i should just focus on piano for now and learn how to really read music. first things first and all that.

it's monday. meh. i'm back to full privileges. this morning i got to watch my favorite pbskids shows while i ate breakfast. oh tv, how i missed you. i'm going to try not to jump on the furniture and do better listening to my mom. that kind of stuff is what got me in trouble last week.
it's great having the tv back. i'm so going to watch jurassic park 3 later. i love that movie.

today was pretty good. this morning we did family swim time first thing. mom gathered up all the laundry. dad and i put our swim trunks on and out the door we went. i splashed around in the pool and mom put all the clothes in the washers to get cleaned. when she was done doing that she got in the pool with me. dad just sat in a chair and watched us.
the pool was great. we had the whole thing to ourselves. mom and i splashed around. when the laundry was done washing dad went in and put it all in the dryer. he came out and got in the pool. then it was the three of us having fun. mom got out and sat in the sun for a bit so she could dry off. when the clothes were done she went in to collect them and it was time to go home. fair enough. after 2hrs in the pool i was pretty hungry.
got home and mom made us smoothies. my favorite.
dad and i are going to have a sunday hang out time now. we're going to play the new tv games mom bought yesterday. whooo-hoo.

what did i do today? i had some nice hang out time with my dad this morning. we played some tv games before he got ready for work. mom told me i had to get ready too, so i did. very slowly. i don't want to go out and i don't want dad to go out either. i want us to stay inside all day playing. but no. dad had to go to work and mom and i drove him there. booo.
we dropped dad off and then mom drove to the grocery store. there is no one around at the grocery store early on a saturday. it was kind of cool. mom picked up a few things we needed and then we took it all home. on the way back to our house we passed a huge parking lots sale going on.
got home and mom was all- hurry hurry hurry. she put all the groceries away and i had a quick bathroom break. we jumped back in the car and mom drove us around the block to the parking lot sale. we found a space to park and got out of the car. i walked around with mom while she looked at things. one table had a bunch of tv games. mom found a starwars one and then a spongebob. awesome! she put them in her bag. she also put in a bunch of learning to read books. less awesome. the only way i get to watch spongebob cartoons is if i read a book. so now there's even more books to read.
mom paid for her bag of stuff and back home we went. just in time too. i was getting hot and sweaty just standing around. our house is nice and cool. i'm still on a tv ban until tomorrow. guess i'll putter around the house trying to be good.

it's friday. i talked with jammma and grdad for a bit this morning on skype. i told them all about the airplanes i am going to get when i am older. i'm going to go the airplane store and buy a jet and a plane like the one in jurassic park. i am going to fly my planes to visit with dana bunny and g-dad. then i will fly to england in my plane to visit derby. i've got it all planned out.
after skypetime mom and i went bowling today. it was great fun. we went to a different place than usual. for a special treat mom went to the snack stand and got us a huge soda to share. i also got fried dough snacks and mom had some fried cheese and pizza dip. she tried to get me to try the fried cheese but i said- no way. the dough was great though. it came with a cream cheese sauce to dip it in. yummy and full of sugar.
so bowling was pretty fun. mom and i had a whole 2hrs worth. we managed to play 4 games in that time. i came close to winning but mom beat me every time. that's ok. it's just for fun. i love bowling.
after bowling mom and i just went home. we're trying our best to stay cool. i might take a nap. all this hot and humid makes me tired.

it's thurday. today was our first piano class at the new time. maggie is back from her vacation. we're going to meet up at 2pm now. kind of a weird time but that's ok. got to piano class and helped mr gideon set up. i like lifting up the stand and carrying it across the room. i need a little help moving the keyboard over though. those are kind of awkward to carry by yourself.
piano was good. maggie is fun. she and i spent the whole class laughing and being silly. we played a little piano too. i'm a little better than maggie. she doesn't know her notes as well as i do. haha.
after class mom and i went to the grocery store that is across the street. it's different from publix. it's called winn-dixie. it's ok i guess. we needed orange juice so mom bought some.
not much else going on. just hot and miserable out.

today was getting things done day. mom and i missed our usual laundry day because of the firehouse visit. so this morning it was all go go go. we put the laundry in the washer to get cleaned. mom and i went off to the park. we had a quick walk around the path and then i had some play time on the slides. i got all hot and sweaty after just a few minutes. there were other kids there. one of the boys had a super cool airplane. he wouldn't let me play with it though. that made me sad. there were some tears. i was very upset. mom called me over and i told her my troubles. she gave me a cuddle and said not to worry, it was time to go anyway.
mom and i went and put the clothes in the dryer. i turned on the dryers and then we went off to the grocery store. mom pushed the cart around and picked up things on her list. nothing super exciting. once we had everything mom needed, we paid and it was back to collect the laundry time.
we're home now and going to stay inside. you would not believe how hot it is out. i'm going to sit on the couch and play my games. i've got a tv ban for bad behavior. mom says i can't watch any of the shows i like until sunday. long boring week for me.

today i did piano lessons. it was fun. i am pretty good. my teacher said that the girl maggie is coming back from vacation. she'll be there next class. that's fine. i can show off then.

this morning mom dragged me out of the house while my shows were still on. what the heck? why are we leaving the house so early? mom drove us off towards the grocery store, except we didn't go to the grocery store. we turned the other way and ended up at the fire station. what the hell? there was a fire truck and some firemen and a bunch of kids all running around. ahhhh it's little kid meetup at the firehouse, cool.
so the tour lady introduced us to the different firemen and lady. she gave us a tour around the house. we saw where the firepeople make food and where they sleep. one of the firemen put on all his gear for us. the best part of the tour though was going outside and getting to use the fire hose! i got to spray stuff with a real fire hose. very cool. the tour only lasted an hour and then it was back home again. it's so hot out. i feel like i'm going to melt.

it's sunday and that means i get to spend the day doing stuff with my dad. this morning after breakfast the two of us went swimming. we left mom on her own to do her own thing. dad and i had a great time at the pool. it was just us and then jack showed up for his daily splash.
got home and mom was out. dad and i got our own snacks. mom showed up eventually. she had a bag full of things she found at an estate sale. she pulled out a load of small glass test tubes. awesome! she got me science stuff. she got a couple other things. the test tube are the most exciting part.
dad and i just lazed around the living room most of the day. gotta stay cool any way you can. today we did by playing video games and watching tv shows. it's been great fun.

it's saturday! mom and i took dad to work this morning after breakfast time. it's sooooo freaken hot out. like you get sweaty just walking from the car to the house kind of hot. mom and i drove around to a couple estate sales. the car is airconditioned and the houses are airconditioned. you just get a little hot walking from the house to the car. the first one we went to mom found some cookie cutters to buy. she was all excited because the box had a scottie dog cutter. she says her collection of vintage cookie cutters is now complete. she's got everything she needs to make christmas cookies just like her gram's. christmas cookies are a big thing i guess. i had a few last christmas. they were pretty good. not sure what all the fuss is about though.
while mom was paying for her stuff i helped myself to a lollipop from the table. i got a stern look from mom because i didn't ask first. oops. i just can't resist lollipops. we got in the car and mom drove us down the road. she pulled into this parking lot. what's this? mom said- as long as we're here, we might as well check out the squirrel ridge park. whooo-hoo. i ran across the field to the kid play area. i didn't see any squirrels but there were loads of butterflies around. i had a few minutes of running around play time. it's too darn hot for any more than that. mom says there's something called heat stroke which little kids and old people have to watch out for. when it's 100+ out and 85% humidity, you can get really sick, really fast.
mom and i drove off to the next sale. it was a big old house full of stuff. mom found a bunch of old books for kids to learn about different countries and world histories. sounds kind of boring but the pictures are fun. she got a couple of other uninteresting things. i found something with buttons i really wanted. i was very displeased when mom said no. i had a bit of a fuss and that was the end of that. mom paid for her things and frog marched me back to the car. shopping done for the day i guess.
got home and had some lunch. i was relaxing a bit and mom said- get your socks on it's time to go. where are we going? is it bowling? i'd really like to go bowling. and it was! mom took me bowling. we got there around 1pm and had the whole place to ourselves. no one else was there but the two guys who run the place. it was pretty cool. i tried out a few new ball techniques. they didn't work out so well. i didn't bowl my best games but i had fun and mom says that's the important part. i also drank most of mom's gatoraid and that always makes me happy.
after bowling mom drove us over to walmart since it's right there. we got orange juice and blueberries. not exciting but tasty.
and that's pretty much my day. going to pick up dad and a chicago style pizza for dinner. awesome.

today was kind of weird. mom was on the computer most of the morning reading news stories. there was a big shooting at a movie theater. mom has a bunch of relatives that live out that way. one of her cousins actually lives across the street from the movie theater and had a friend killed. bummer. so mom read the news as it came in and checked on her relatives. once everyone was accounted for it was my turn to use the computer. i had a nice long chat with jammma and grdad in england.
it's stupid hot out. mom and i are just going to hide out inside. i'm doing my best to be good. mom has come to realize that telling me off does no good at all. so now my punishment is- no tv time. i do not like this. i love watching pbs. so i'm trying my best not to jump on the furniture and throw my socks around the room. it's really hard because those things are super fun.
mom got out her new duster and cleaned away all the cobwebs and ceiling fans. cool. she's going to do housewife things and i'm going to try and keep cool.

i've lost my tv privileges for the day. mom has turned off the tv and i'm not allowed to watch any of my favorite shows or movies. i'm supposed to use my imagination and play with the toys instead. what the hell? i've been kind of naughty lately and mom says she's not going to put up with any more nonsense. poo. i'm so bored.

i went bowling today. whooo-hooo. i love bowling. just me and mom went. we tried out a different place than before. the place we went to today is right behind sonny's. who knew there was a bowling alley there? i didn't. mom told me that if i was good we would go out for a special treat. so i was good enough this morning. she drove us to sonny's and i was all- sonny's? this isn't a special treat, what the heck? then we went around the back and i read the sign- bowling alley. awesome.
mom and i went in and it's a super old fashion bowling alley from like the 1970's. mom got us some shoes and the guy told us to bowl on lane 8. ok. we were right next to two sisters. they were kind of bowling. mostly they were fighting about who's ball was who's. they were using that silly baby ramp that you just push the ball down and it goes down the lane. it's for babies. i bowl like a big boy.
i did really great in the first game and bowled my highest score yet- 100. i beat mom! haha. i rule at bowling. in the second game mom beat me but just by a little. she got lucky with a couple spares.
that was the exciting part of my day. mom and i just stay inside most of the time. it's really hot and humid and the mosquitoes are terrible. they don't bother me. the mosquitoes attack mom and her bug bites swell up to the size of 50p pieces. not only that but the ones around here carry call kinds of nasty diseases. no one wants west nile. yuck. another week or so and hopefully they'll die down.
in other news my dad's green card came today. and it's really green.

not much going on. the weather is gross. mom is busy working on her books. i spent the morning running around the house and watching pbs kids. mom and i went out to piano lessons at the usual time.
at piano lessons there was a boy about my age. he came out of the back carrying a guitar. i got right in his face and checked out the guitar. it was just a small one- for kids. i looked the guitar over, looked the boy over and said- i play awesome music. then i let him past and he left. i've got confidence, bags full.
piano lessons were good. it was just me again. awesome. i played happy birthday and started to learn yankee doodle. i know my notes. you name a note and i can find it on the keyboard, no problem. piano is easy.
mom is letting me watch different kinds of movies. today i really wanted to watch superman but mom didn't feel like searching for it. she put on spiderman instead. this guy- he's part spider. it's pretty cool. i like spiderman. he's a super hero

monday. doing chores with mom day. went went to the office/clubhouse and there were a million super tiny frogs hopping around. they were everywhere. i stepped on a couple. i didn't know what they were at first. they were smaller than the acorns. this morning it was getting the clothes in the washer and then since it's kinds of cool and windy mom took me to the park. we walked around the path and then i got to play on the slides. i had fun. it was nice to be out getting my fresh air.
after the park we put the laundry in the dryer and mom took us to walmart. mom had a list and we walked around getting things like mangos and guacamole. not very exciting but very tasty. we got what we needed and then it was back in the car and home again. mom got the laundry from the dyer and that was that.
i hung out doing stuff while mom sorted out the clothes. all the big chores are done now. time to put on a movie and relax. we're having pizza for lunch!

i'm doing stuff with my dad. i love sundays. dad and i have the most fun. this morning we went to the park for a few hours while it was still cool. i road my bike around the track and then dad and i ran around the baseball fields. i burned off a lot of energy. it was great fun.
after the park dad took me to sonics for an extra special treat. he ordered me a huge chocolate milkshake! awesome. we drove home and i got to enjoy my milkshake. it was a little too big though. i couldn't manage the whole thing so mom helped finish it up. MILKSHAKE.
dad and i also got into some science projects. mom bought a little herb growing kit last week. today dad and i read the directions and planted the seeds. fingers crossed in a few weeks we'll have some fresh coriander. the seeds are going to sit in my window because that's one of the few places that actually gets some sunlight. i'm in charge.

not much going on. kind of a lazy saturday. i had some blueberry waffles for breakfast time. yummy. everyone had their breakfasts and then it was time to take dad to work.
dropped dad off and then mom drove us over to the flea markets. did you know there are two little flea markets in gamesville? i did not know this though mom says i've been to both before. we're trying to find a banana keeper for dad. so far no luck. we checked both and there were no banana keepers to be found. oh well. we tried. mom says she's just going to order one online.
mom and i went home and that was that. had a nice afternoon of watching movies and reading my mushroom book. i'm an expert on mushrooms now.
went and picked up dad when he called. we decided to go out to dinner. so it was off to sonny's, but not the one we usually go to. today we tried out a newer one up on 39th. it's huge and instead of picnic tables they have booths. it was great but a little cold. they had the airconditioner cranked up. who knew you could be too cold in FL in the middle of summer? i tried something different. instead of getting orange crush to drink i ordered a raspberry lemonaid. it was awesome.
dinner was nice. mom drove us home when we were done. now it's time for me to hang out with my dad.

it's friday the 13th. whatever. mom says that some people are afraid of friday the 13ths. not me. just around day around here. mom and i pretty much just spent the whole day hanging out. she's working on making books. i jumped around the house and watched shows. mom put on some old science programs for me. i'm really into space, volcanoes and tornadoes right now.

today i had piano lessons. i kicked ass. i am super good at piano. i learned all of happy birthday today. next class we're going to start on a new song.
there was a big storm while i had my lesson. it had just started to rain when mom parked the car. by the time lessons were over the storm was ending too. i missed all the lightning and pouring rain. oh well. i heard some pretty good thunder bangs though. maybe i'll catch the next storm.
other than that i just hung out with mom. it's gross out with all the warm and mosquitoes. the town has been spraying for bugs so hopefully all the mosquitoes will be dead soon and i can go back to having some fun.

yesterday was pretty exciting. today it's going to rain and be generally boring. that's fine. you need a relaxing day every once in awhile. blueberry and i are going to hang out on the couch and boss mom around. we're good at that.

this morning was all rush rush around the house. i got up and ate my breakfast. i was thinking- hey, nice easy day. going to watch some shows, maybe a movie or two. tuesday is a piano lesson day. oh no. mom and dad had other plans. i had to get dressed and we all left the house at like 8am. what the heck? mom wouldn't tell me where we were going.
mom drove me and dad out of town. we drove for a bit and stopped at a drugstore for a bathroom break. dad drank too much coffee this morning. mom picked up a soda and some candy. i want a spice drop! we got back in the car and i begged dad for some spice drops. i love those things. mom said they're only for good boys. so i had to sit quietly.
mom drove us a little father and we were at our destination: jacksonville immigration center. we got there an hour early so mom drove us around the corner to a cafe. hey, i've been here before. we came a few months ago so dad could have a meeting. mom talked the cafe guy into making me a basket of french fries. awesome! i sat and ate french fries while the grown ups relaxed. turns out dad's got another meeting today and this time mom has to go too which means i get to tag along. cool.
i finished my fries and we went back to the immigration center. there were a bunch of people milling about the door. this scary man was checking paper and id cards. he asked: do you have any guns, batteries, perfume, gum, candy, electronics? if you said yes, all those kinds of things had to be put back in the car. if you said no, he let you in the door. we managed to get all the banned stuff out of our bags and into the car. the guy let us through the door and then we had to deal with the metal detector man. he xrayed the bags and then patted them down. it took ages to get past him. i heard dad's name called. we all turned and waved at the man- yes, we're here.
when metal detector man was done touching our bags we had a quick bathroom break. the man who called dad's name earlier came back out and showed us into his office. we all got chairs to sit on. the man gave me a piece of candy and he started talking with mom and dad. it was kind of boring. i just sat and sucked on my candy. the guy asked a few questions- mostly is this your address? he stamped a few papers and signed a couple things. then he said- ok, we're done. and that is how my dad got approved for his green card. i have no idea what that means. mom said the card lets dad stay in america and he can come and go as he pleases for as long as he wants. ok then.
it took us an hour to get to jacksonville for a meeting that was less than 30min. now what? mom and dad talked for a minute and it was decided we should just go home and relax. so back in the car and mom drove us home. getting home took longer than an hour though. there was an accident on one of the main highways. it was totally shut down and all the traffic had to get off and be diverted. bummer. there was a lot of just sitting. it took us like 2hrs to get home. well longer than that because we stopped off at a big walmart in starke to see what they have. mom got me a couple things to eat since it was after 2pm and i didn't have lunch. i had some carrots and ranch and then a purple smoothie. cool.
finally got home. we all relaxed around the house a bit before mom was all- get your socks it's time to go out. but it's raining and there's a thunderstorm. who care's? it's time for a good boy treat. i got a surprise adventure for being good on our trip today! so we all got in the car and mom drove us across town. i kind of fell asleep. i woke up a few minutes later at a bowling alley. I LOVE BOWLING!
bowling was awesome. i had a great time knocking down the pins. we played 3 games. dad beat me and mom every time. mom and i are both pretty evenly matched. she only beat me by a few points each time. with a little more practice i will be beating her soon.
after we turned in our shoes it was time to go out for dinner. mom drove us to the mexican place she and dad like. we got a table and ordered a bunch of tasty food. i tried something called a cheese quasadilla. it did not go down well. as soon as it touched my tongue i puked. nope, i'm not eating that shit. i didn't chew it, i didn't even close my mouth. mom was not impressed. oh well. i still had a pretty fun day.

today was a busy monday. mom likes to get all the annoying chores done monday morning so we can spend the rest of the week doing fun stuff like not doing chores. this morning we dropped the clothes and stuff off to get cleaned. blueberry and the couch cushions need a really good wash. i think blueberry is still mad at me. i'm sure he'll fell better after his splash. mom filled the machines and i pushed the money in to start them. once everything was under way, we went off to the park.
the park was good. it was cool enough to have some fun running around and the mosquitoes were still asleep. mom and i did the walking path and then i had a few minutes to run around and do the slides and other playground stuff. i got a little hot and sweaty. florida in  the summer time, what are you going to do?
mom and i went back to put the clothes in the dryer and hang up the things that don't go in the dryer. we took blueberry and the couch cushions home to air dry on our deck. mom says blueberry is getting too old for the dryer.
mom got her shopping list and we went off to walmart. i sat in the cart while mom pushed me around the store. we didn't get much. fruit was the only big thing on the list. we've got lots of fruit. mom is on one of her save money and not buy stuff kicks. that's fine, we don't really need any more stuff. paid for the things mom did buy and it was back to get the laundry.
got home and mom put all the things we bought away and then sorted out the clean clothes. phew. house work looks like it's pretty much done for the day. that means we can sit and relax. we can't really go out because the garbage disposal guy should be here soon to fix our machine. i'm going to eat some lunch and watch my shows.
garbage disposal man came. he was only here for a few minutes. he said he's fished coins out of machine before, it's pretty easy. so he stuck his hand down there and a few seconds later he told mom it was all sorted. the machine is just fine and doesn't need to be replaced. phew. dad got lucky there.
now the rest of my moday i'm just going to hang out and wait for my dad to get home.

today has been all kinds of stupid but i got to spend time with my dad so i guess that's ok.
this morning it was decided we should take dad to get an eye test to see if he needs glasses. i guess he needs to get his licence renewed soon. last time he took the eye test 6 times. that's not good. so we all hung out doing sunday morning things. dad and i played some video games. mom worked on her book stuff. breakfast was eaten. dad rushed us all out the door a little after 9 because he wanted to get this eye test thing over and done with.
mom drove us out to the mall. there were not a lot of people there. we parked the car and mom went up to the door. the sign said the mall doesn't open until noon on sunday. mom was horrified. noon on a sunday! i thought this was america, land of the consumerist. oh well. we all got back in the car.
mom then drove us over to the natural history museum. i really want to visit with the butterflies again, with my dad. the car got parked and we walked over to the museum and it was closed. the museum doesn't open until 1pm on sundays. oh man. we're just not off to a good start.
mom was getting a little grumpy as dad rushed her out of the house before she could get any breakfast time. we all got back in the car and she then drove us to steak and shake. thankfully they were open, they're always open. we got a table and i got to order a chocolate milkshake. mom got a stack of pancakes and dad got something called a breakfast taco. whooo-hoo for snacks.
after we were all done eating we went over to target. dad pushed me around the store and we looked at stuff. mom just shuffled along behind us. there wasn't anything we really need to buy but mom found something. she got another stack of paper for her ongoing book making project. boring.
back in the car and it was finally noon so mom drove us back to the mall. this time it was open. mom and i dropped dad off at the eye dr/ eyeglasses place. there's lots of waiting involved with this kind of thing. mom and i walked around looking in different stores. every once in awhile we went back and checked on dad to see how he was doing. the dr gave him some eye drops to make the black parts go all big. dad looked funny.
the end result was several hours, hundreds of dollars and a new pair of glasses for dad. hey dad, nice glasses. i got a smoothie too.
dad's eyes were all screwed up so mom decided we should all just go home. we're going to visit with the butterflies another day. i'm going to hang out with my dad watching funny videos.

there was an accident. i fell asleep on the couch and wouldn't wake up. mom tried. she shouted my name, made loud noises. she pulled blueberry away and even stood me up and made me walk. i just snatched blueberry back and curled back up on the couch. i'm sleepy and you can't make me get up. unfortunately i had a lot of juice to drink. there was peeing. i peed all over myself, blueberry and the couch- both cushions. it was a real mess. i finally woke up an hour later to find myself cold and soaking wet. mom took me to the bathroom and i had a quick bath.
blueberry is really mad at me. he got peed on and now he has to stay in the laundry basket with dad's smelly gym socks. he's not talking to me. mom got the couch cushions off and they're in the laundry too. now i've got nowhere to sit. what a bummer of a day.
in other news dad took me out first thing this morning. i got a hair cut and a lollipop. i'm handsome.

not much going on. mom and i are just trying to keep cool during the day. it's so stupid hot out and there are mosquitoes everywhere. you step outside and a huge black cloud of bugs surrounds you. yuck.

i did piano lessons today. i really enjoy my lessons. because of the holiday no one else was there so it was a private lesson. i got a lot of work done and got some free play time. i am all about the Vtoven. i am obsessed with playing furry elease.

it's the 4th of july. whooo-hoo. americans have a big party every year on this day. dad took the day off work, mostly because he spent 24hr travelling yesterday and was a bit tired. he and i hung out doing stuff. you know, guy stuff. mom made things in the kitchen for our little celebration. we ate an early dinner. the grown ups had things like hotdogs and potato salad. bleh. i didn't get anything, what's up with that?
after dinner mom sprayed us down with anti bug spray and out the door we went. where are we going? what's going on? mom drove us to the next town and there were people and cars everywhere. we parked on a bit of grass near the train tracks. then we got out of the car and walked with everyone else. thousands of people all going to the park. there was all kinds of exciting stuff. loads of booths were set up and people were selling food and drinks. awesome. mom went and stood in line and got me a slice of pizza and cold sodas. whoo-hoo. i get to eat fun food for dinner. mom and dad picked a nice spot in the grass and we set down our blanket. i sat and ate the pizza.
basically we just sat in the grass for a few hours watching all the people. i ate the pizza and then mom stood in line for ages to get me a fruit smoothie and a frozen lemonade for her and dad. mmmmm tasty drinks. we listened to the different bands playing music. it was nice just relaxing outside with my folks for a bit. the bug spray kept the mosquitoes away. eventually the sun went down and there was no more room on the grass for people to sit. some announcer guy said there were 20,000 people in the park. that's a lot of people.
at 9.30 the excitement started. FIREWORKS! that's what we've been waiting for. the fireworks lit up the sky and it was great fun. they exploded for a good 30min and then it was all over. very fun stuff. i got to stay up wicked late and watch fireworks. 4th of july is ok by me.

mom and i were going to see some fireworks tonight but we've now got other plans. dad is coming home! whooo-hoo. i've missed my dad loads. he just sent a text message to mom letting her know the plane has landed. we're going to go pick him up and then eat dinner at sonny's.

it's monday. that means doing chores with mom. fun fun. we had our breakfast time. i watched some of my pbs shows while mom gathered up all the laundry things. we took the laundry in to get washed. i turned on the machines while mom filled them up with clothes. then we went to the park. mom and i had a quick walk around on the path and then i went to play on the slides. it was just enough fresh air for me. it's still early in the morning and stupid hot out already.
went and put the clothes in the dryer. mom and i just went home to hang out a bit. it's too hot for fun. can you believe that? i miss my dad.

it's sunday and my dad is not around. heavy sigh.
